Kristin Saylor, Manager of Radiology at HCH & part of the Hospital Week committee
(KNZA)--A donation to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office will help a child that’s experienced a traumatic event.
For Hospital Week, the Hiawatha Community Hospital collected items for law enforcement to give out to children in need as part of Project LEO.
On Monday, the hospital delivered the collected items---including blankets, toys, coloring books and crayons, stuffed animals and back-packs-- to the Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff John Merchant says when a child has experienced a traumatic event, such items can make a positive difference in their life. He says by having these items available, children can keep and take them, which gives them a sense of hope.
Merchant thanked the hospital staff for their generosity, saying its a wonderful project that will help many children in the county.
